Why Bun — Build Your Own Bun-Powered CLI
02 / The tool

Bun is the shortest path from idea to binary.

01

Single-binary ship

One command compiles your TypeScript into a standalone executable. No Node install on the other end.
02

TypeScript, no setup

No tsconfig, no ts-node, no build step during development. Run a .ts file directly.
03

Built-in shell

The $ template literal gives you cross-platform shell without child_process gymnastics.
04

SQLite on tap

bun:sqlite gives every CLI a local database in zero lines of config.
